The Witcher 3 grew on me. At first, I wasn't a huge fan of it, but I've grown to like it, and I hope they make an upgrade for the Switch 2 so it can run at 4K 60fps.
@ElkinFencer10 Bingo! Stop being so logical. The rage baiters can't handle it. Ray tracing, higher resolution, frame rates, bigger worlds, more content, and those things don't come cheap. Look at the budget for Avatar WOW. It has a huge budget, but it was for the effects. If you want better tech, you gotta pay for it.
The Switch 2 is $450 because of VRR, DLSS, HDR, more memory, Express memory which is like SSD, and none of that stuff is cheap.
Video games have gone up in production, so I knew games were gonna go up, and it doesn't look like they'll be a reverse anytime soon.
Also, with tariffs and inflation, this is not a good time for any form of entertainment. Ticket prices on movies have gone up, and ticket prices for live events have skyrocketed. I hope inflation can go down, and prices can do a reverse. I hope.
@TenEighty Yeah right. You don't know what you're talking about. You got Nickel and dimed by a computer company. Nintendo is taking a hit with every Switch 2 they make. Grow up, Google something and learn.
@TenEighty No it's not cheaper to make. You can keep repeating that, but it's not. Also, the Switch 2 is using 2022 chips. All you gotta do is Google this to see before you say something incredibly wrong.
@TenEighty Yeah it actually does. It uses Express memory which is on par with SSD, which is expensive to use. A 1080p screen, HDR, VRR, etc. Also, the games on Switch 2 end up looking better than the Series S versions and sometimes the PS5 versions thanks to DLSS.
The main SOC of the Switch 2 costs over $200 bucks.
@TenEighty That's a different time. Unfortunately, newer chips and tech aren't like that. Nvidia or AMD won't lower the prices of their chips. Why do you think the PS5 and XBSX won't lower their prices?
@TenEighty The Switch 2 takes over $400 to manufacture. You keep forgetting about the dock. It's not cheap to make. Neither are the Joy Cons that have better HD rumble, motion controls and mouse controls. VRR and HDR aren't free, and using a 1080p screen costs more money.
There are lots of good strategy games on the Switch. 3 Houses, Sparks of Hope, Triangle Strategy, Unicorn Overlord, and Persona 5 Tactica are some of my favorites.
@KingMike That still costs money and they easily overcharge for them. I don't own a PC because I know what a rip off these companies do. I don't mind companies making a profit, but this is ridiculous.
@RainbowGazelle Well, one of the reasons games don't come down in price as much is more companies are moving away from manufacturing companies that use slave labor in China. BTW, I mean that as a good thing.That does make the production price go up. Hey, it's your choice and what you want to buy is up to you.
@RainbowGazelle You realize that Furukawa doesn't get a lot compared to other CEOs. How quickly people forget. Only him and Miyamoto make more than 1 million.
Nintendo is far from perfect, but no one person at Nintendo makes an ungodly amount. Their workers get excellent pay, benefits and an hour paid lunches. I don't mean this to be insulting, but a lot of you need to take a business class. I got a minor in business and with all of the high tech parts, I knew gaming was gonna go up in prices because of inflation.
I wish it wasn't like this, but it is. Brace for impact, it's only begun.

Re: Fantasy Life i Gets Switch 2 Release Date With Paid Upgrade Path For Switch 1 Players
@Anti-Matter Wrong. The Switch 2 will run similar to the PS5 version.
Re: Fantasy Life i Gets Switch 2 Release Date With Paid Upgrade Path For Switch 1 Players
@Anti-Matter Why get a PS5 when they don't have hardly any games?
Also, the Switch 2 will be 60 FPS as well.

This is great news. I can't wait for the Switch 2! I know, I will, but one day, I'll get it.

Re: Randy Pitchford Defends Borderlands 4 Pricing Comment
@Zealv2 So, you didn't want 4K and 60 FPS?

Re: Yakuza 0 Comparison Video May Give Switch 2 The Edge Over PS4
@TenEighty You know what? It's OK. But, I'm just giving you factual information. That's all. But, have a good one.
Re: Yakuza 0 Comparison Video May Give Switch 2 The Edge Over PS4
@TenEighty Cyberpunk 2077 is cheaper on Switch 2 than on PS5 and Xbox. Most big games aren't on the disc or cartridge nowadays.
Re: Yakuza 0 Comparison Video May Give Switch 2 The Edge Over PS4
@TenEighty You do get that the PS5 and all versions of Doom the Dark Ages don't have the game on it.
And, so? You're just another shallow Pony. I should've known. "I'm done." You're just a liar.

Re: Yakuza 0 Comparison Video May Give Switch 2 The Edge Over PS4
@TenEighty PCs are cheap to make, yet they charge $2,000 for a mid range PC. Facts are facts. All you gotta do is Google these prices.
Well, PCs aren't cheap to make, but they don't cost over $1,000 to make.
Re: Yakuza 0 Comparison Video May Give Switch 2 The Edge Over PS4
@TenEighty I have done my research. Don't make false assumptions, I am no expert, and there's a lot I don't know, but I did study up about this.
Re: Yakuza 0 Comparison Video May Give Switch 2 The Edge Over PS4
@TenEighty It's using more modern tech, which means the chips are much more efficient and powerful. The raw numbers mean nothing.
Also, the PS4 used chips from 2009-2010.
Re: Yakuza 0 Comparison Video May Give Switch 2 The Edge Over PS4
@TenEighty Yeah right. You don't know what you're talking about. You got Nickel and dimed by a computer company. Nintendo is taking a hit with every Switch 2 they make. Grow up, Google something and learn.
Re: Yakuza 0 Comparison Video May Give Switch 2 The Edge Over PS4
@PharoneTheGnome Look up games like Hogwarts Legacy, SF6 and Cyberpunk 2077 to get a better idea.
Re: Yakuza 0 Comparison Video May Give Switch 2 The Edge Over PS4
@TenEighty No it's not cheaper to make. You can keep repeating that, but it's not. Also, the Switch 2 is using 2022 chips. All you gotta do is Google this to see before you say something incredibly wrong.
Re: Yakuza 0 Comparison Video May Give Switch 2 The Edge Over PS4
@TenEighty A $2,000 computer costs $575 to make. Good job letting a PC company drain you.
Re: Yakuza 0 Comparison Video May Give Switch 2 The Edge Over PS4
@Haruki_NLI Oh yeah. Lol That's true.
Re: Yakuza 0 Comparison Video May Give Switch 2 The Edge Over PS4

Re: Yakuza 0 Comparison Video May Give Switch 2 The Edge Over PS4
No, it looks a lot better than the PS4 version. Why don't you guys compare the PS5 versions of the games to the Switch 2? Do better guys.
Re: Yakuza 0 Comparison Video May Give Switch 2 The Edge Over PS4

So, you're wrong.
